A Glen Burnie, Md., man died when his car ran into the back of a trailer on westbound Interstate 70 near Route 355 Thursday evening.

The accident occurred at 5:31 p.m. in stop-and-go traffic, according to Maryland State Police.

A 1991 Honda Civic driven by Kevin Knight, 26, of Glen Burnie ran into the flatbed trailer being pulled by a 1999 Mack truck driven by Wayne Clifford, no age or address given. Clifford was not hurt, police said.

The westbound interstate was shut down for more than two hours during the investigation by the Maryland State Police Western Region Reconstruction Team.

The investigation is continuing, but it appears neither driver was impaired, police said.
